The way streaming video interacts with copyright is very convoluted, but there basically is no “past” for such a video, because it is constantly being performed to new audiences on-demand, and the uploader is getting paid for those performances. As such, taking down an “old” video is much closer to preventing future…

Yeah, this was not a good change.

These guys are more Ron Swanson than Bernie Sanders.

Part of the reason premiums are so high is because so many people opt out, making the risk pool extremely risky. It’s pretty likely that without that mandate, flood insurance in that area might be even more expensive.

Holy shit he played Twilight Seibei. That’s such a weird career path.

Saving this for the next time there’s a Ben Affleck movie.

Back when my friends and I did co-op races my partner and me both got really good at that part in particular, to the point where I’d knock us sideways onto it and he could resist the urge to flinch and fall off. It was a blast.

Double Dash was so good. I always loved Mushroom bridge; the boost strips up the precariously narrow supports were so satisfying to thread.

I mean, that’s basically why “All Lives Matter” is a thing.

Same thing for io9. (rip) I kinda think they should just randomly redirect other Kinja articles to The Root, and see if people notice. (Comment privileges turned off though.)

I found Rihanna was one of the better parts of the movie, acting wise. That is decidedly not saying much though.

Sadly, it doesn’t reach anywhere near the level of Fifth Element in terms of compelling performances. The plot is whatever and the cast is mostly generic, and the dialog is really stilted. The visuals are some of the best ever, but that’s pretty much all it has going for it.

Its creative success reveals a truth: That the most successful Japanese role-playing games succeed because they embrace strangeness.

I really don’t understand the logic of “don’t block the line of sight”. It’s a 2" metal pipe. It’s not blocking the view of anything, move your damn head an inch. The inconvenience is minuscule compared to the benefit of actually protecting against accidental falls.

The Middle East and India/Pakistan are basically a case study in How The British Empire Was Awful. There’s plenty of other examples for the rest of Europe too, and America, but the British were astoundingly good at ruining the lives of peoples they colonized.

Not sure. 2.0 was the released version with CGI and re-dubbed dialogue, but I don’t know if it was the SAC cast. There’s soooo many versions, it’s hard to keep track, and brief googling wasn’t turning up a definite answer.

Not sure, that was Ghost in the Shell 2.0, but they might have used that dub for this release as well.

Apparently there are basically no special features, and it has a substantially worse Japanese audio track, a somewhat worse English audio track, and no other languages at all, compared to the DVD Special Edition this theoretically is supposed to surpass.
